splendidly supported by Summer and the entire
team. Terry very wild, giving FIVE
bases on balls and hitting one, and was hit hard

CINCINNATI, IL METROPOLITAN. IL.
NEW YORK. Sept 10.-Lovers of good batting
had their fill at the Cncinn att Metropolitan
game to-day. The clubs played till dark, and
the score was tie. Errors were frequent, which
made the game exciting. The Metropolitans
tried a new pitcher named Parsons. formerly
with the Rochesuers. His curves are good but
his delivery and throwing to bases is very slow
In the fifth inning O'Brien, who was right
field. exchanged with Hagan. who was on third
base. In the ninth inning Jones made
derful catch of Badwin's fly. Nicol's base-steal-
ing won the admiration of all. and the playing
of McPhee at second base was also good. In the
fifth Orr hurt his hand and had to retire. Score:
